Google Is A Stalker - Here's How To Show It Who's Boss

How to delete your Google Search history. What if you had a stalker that followed you everywhere, and knew everything you said, did, or talked about? What if the stalker knew everything you were interested in, and kept a detailed diary of your every movement? Pretty creepy, huh? Even worse, what if a lawyer with a subpoena could call your stalker as a witness and get all that information in pending litigation? Welcome to Google, the computer stalker that is everywhere. While your search history, and complete history of your daily internet use might be valuable to a lawyer doing ediscovery, most of us don't want everyone to know the places we go on the Internet, no matter how innocent our intentions. In fact, Google search histories have figured prominently in murder and serious crime investigations. But, for most of us, knowing how to remove that data from our Google chain is a good thing. And, Google wants to make it easier to remove. Go to the activity page and see what Google knows about you. Then, delete it before your mother sees it.
